Q)
(chatquestion)...24. The aorta is the principal blood vessel through which blood leaves the heart in
order to circulate around the body. (a) Calculate the average speed of the blood
in the aorta if the flow rate is 5.0L/min. The aorta has a radius of 10mm. (b)Blood
also flows through smaller blood vessels known as capillaries. When the rate of
blood flow in the aorta is 5.0 L/min, the speed of blood in the capillaries is about
0.33 mm/s. Given that the average diameter of a capillary is 8.0µm, calculate the
number of capillaries in the blood circulatory system.
